Hi everyone
I've got a pair of Canton GLE 430's and I have them standing on top of my bookshelves. One on each opposite facing bookshelf, about 12 feet apart, but not facing each other directly but rather diagonally aimed at the center of the room from the corners. Anyway as it is they just stand bare on top of the bookshelves so I'm thinking of getting some sort of isolating rubber feet. Does anyone have any tips to share? Johan |

Thanks!
I believe a visit to the local stationery shop is in my near future. Is it best applied in small corner lumps or like a big pad under the whole thing? Johan |

Squash balls cut in half!
Although, i thought pointy feet were supposed to be best?

I find small corner lumps work best and they also prevent the speakers being accidentally knocked off axis. You could find that a corner placement produces a considerable bass boost and veils much of the mid range and higher frequencies. Ideally you want a placement that arranges the sounds (instruments, singers etc) along the wall outside the speaker boxes with some depth in front and behind the speakers (yes, behind or beyond the wall - it should be possible). I have found that positioning the speakers so their axis aims just to the left and to the right of you often produces a good stereo image. |

Pointy feet are best for sales of new flooring materials and shelfs... They are not very good for marital bliss... |

Yes, speaker placement surely is a devil. Although when stationary I rely mostly on my cans, so my aim in positioning the speakers is to get an as equally balanced soundstage throughout the room as possible rather than creating a single sweet spot. Maybe the two aren't exclusive to one another but I prioritise the first when positioning my speakers. Also, the speakers aren't actually placed right in the corners but simply just closer to than midwall. Anyways, thanks for the blue-tak tip! I will definitely try it Johan |
